People who make long trips, what are the pros and cons?
The longest vacations I have ever taken have been around 3 weeks. I find at that point I start getting somewhat anxious to get home. This might have been driven by missing pets, starting to think about work again and so forth. Or maybe it was just the knowledge that vacation was almost over. It's almost like I have had my adventure and am ready to get back to the routine.
In retirement I have a few month long trips planned. But I read many of you talking about 3-6 month adventures and I wonder if you start to regret at some point. I don't want to use the term homesick because that is not really how it has felt to me. It's more that I think my temperment is more suited to maybe a month away then 2-3 months back home and repeating.
Probably just rambling but interested in comments because my bias may be based on never having the opportunity to be away for 3 months. Was this an adjustment?
